Willy [Herschel] is doing well and is looking much healthier. Has hired a pony for him to ride. The family doctor has given him a good examination.
Forwards from J. W. Lubbock letters from [R.S.L.] foreign office regarding establishment of magnetic observatory at Hammerfest and informs JH that Adolphe Quetelet will be in town.
Fully examined WB's report [on barometer observations]. Agrees to combine British and Continental observations. Curves clearly show atmospheric processes. Likes WB's suggestion of tracing atmospheric wave beyond 24 hours; will propose this to B.A.A.S. Irregularity of Asiatic and South African data.
